 Posted: Mon Jul 07, 2008 7:35 pm Post subject: YAK-55M Paint Scheme Details |
 |
|
YAK-55M Owners,
I’m recovering the tail feathers on my YAK-55M...the Russian cotton finally rotted out, and I’m trying to exactly copy the stock paint scheme and all the call-outs.
On each of the fixed trim tabs on both elevators and the fixed tab on the rudder, there was a red placard word stenciled in Russian Cyrillic that runs the full length of the tab. The original paint has long since rubbed off, and all I can make out is one part of a single letter. I assume this is a warning similar to “No Push” or such, but can’t see enough of the original to tell what it says.
Anybody out there have a new stock paint job that can tell me what the Russians stenciled on the tabs of a Yak-55M, and even better, I’d sure like a picture if anyone has a good close-up so I can have decals, or a set of paint masks made.
Thanks for the help.

Hi George,
It does indeed say "Don't Push" in Russian. I've got such a scheme and
will get you some pictures.
